🌱 What an incredible day to get our hands dirty and our hearts full! Yesterday, Dr. Torres, Professor Ostrowski, and our hardworking students spent a beautiful, sunny day at Victory Garden Initiative.
Victory Garden Initiative’s mission is to build communities that grow their own food and create a community-led, socially just, environmentally sustainable, and nutritious food system for all. Their vision is grounded in three powerful principles:
🌿 Food sovereignty rooted in dignity 🌱 Community is the solution 🌻 Growing future stewards
These principles align beautifully with the core values of professional social work!
We’re grateful for the opportunity to learn alongside such an incredible nonprofit and to experience firsthand how growing food can also mean growing community, connection, and hope. Special thanks to LaDonna and Chlo. Your passion and commitment are inspiring!
And, of course, we’re also grateful to have witnessed Dr. Torres’s undeniable love for wheelbarrows and bugs! 🪲😂
